Halle Berry Rains on Parade Profile
Not everyone loves a Parade.
Halle Berry has accused the weekly magazine of dredging up bad memories as fodder for a "sensationalized" profile of her that was published earlier this month.
The Oscar winner claimed that Parade "regurgitated" dated information about her suicide attempt of a decade ago, using comments she made years ago during appearances on Oprah and Larry King Live.
Berry's brush with suicide took place after her marriage to baseball player David Justice fell apart in 1996. The actress has said she planned to asphyxiate herself in her car, but changed her mind at the last minute upon realizing it would be a selfish thing to do to her mother.
Though Berry, 40, has touched on her low moments in past interviews, she claimed that she did not have any intention of going back down that path with Parade.
"The truth is I'm in such a great time in my life right now that it wouldn't be my wish to revisit that," Berry told reporters at a press junket for her latest movie, Perfect Stranger, which opens Friday. "But another outlet did that and made it seem as though it was current again. And it's just really not."
A spokesperson for Parade responded to Berry's comments with a statement indicating that the magazine stood behind its original reporting.
"All of the quotes in the April 1 Parade profile on Halle Berry came from a candid sit-down interview between Ms. Berry and Parade writer Emily Listfield on Jan. 25, 2007," the statement read.
"Ms. Berry talked very freely (on tape) about the challenges she has faced in her life, including her failed marriages and suicide attempt. It is unfortunate that Ms. Berry has chosen to respond to media interest by backing away from what she originally told Parade."
Whatever the case may be, Berry has made it clear that she has no further interest in discussing her suicide attempt or any of the events surrounding it.
"It's 10 years old. I'm so past it and I'm so beyond it," she told reporters.
Life is undoubtedly brighter for Berry these days. Last week, she earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in recognition of her thriving film career. Meanwhile, Ebony magazine named her the most powerful African-American woman in Hollywood on its annual list of the most influential black Americans, on newsstands Monday.
On the personal side, she has been dating model Gabriel Aubry since November 2005 and has said she has every intention of becoming a mother in the near future.
"Now my sights are set on a different chapter in my life, which is motherhood. That's the goal I have very clearly set for myself," she told Parade.
Something Berry doesn't intend to do anymore: grant magazine interviews.
The actor claims her sitdown with Esquire for its May issue will be her last, telling the magazine she's looking forward to "no more pressure to come up with an excuse as to why I don't have a baby at 40, and finally, no more giving a magazine the power to paint a portrait of me that was just not true."
